a tale of tails, tenacity, and tedium, as told by me, usually barefoot and bellowing

Well, That Didn't Work!

A fine success my giveaway was!!!  One new follower and thirteen entries... All names were cut into slips, folded and placed in a old straw hat.  My Random chooser, AKA Andrew, drew out one piece, without looking, without cheating in any way. 

The winner is Sunny at Barnyards and Barnacles  She has a fun blog full of bits of history, humorous captions and fantastic photos.  Congratulations, Sunny, email me with your address.

Just a tad on the unemployed hubby...he is still working on fence and is closer to done than he was.  He told me he fell yesterday, stepped on a round stick and, Flop! flat on his back he went. Well, I think he hit his head!

This morning I walked through dressed for work and he said I looked nice, then he complimented my smell.  What is going on here??  He is missing his political, social life when he starts bragging on me.  I guess when you are isolated in the desert, any drink of water looks good...

Ode To My Navel

Alas, my dear navel,
 I knew thee well
when you were but a gentle swell
marking the center of my being.

I lost sight of you during human incubation.
Oh, but you always returned.
You returned and swirled and dipped in gentle folds
and danced, when I laughed.

This season, I see you only in my reflection,
as you solemnly stare one-eyed.
Will you return after the holidays
so I may gaze into your eye once again?

Things...

Deer tracks in the sand,
frozen water barrel,
feeding cattle...
hoarfrost,
frozen berries...
just a few things to view
At The Farm

Shootin'...

the pink of the beginning sunrise,
the sun as it peeks over the horizon,
the neighbor's horses
feeling their oats,
and the bite of a winter morning.
